"Buchu" HeImbOId.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the new 1OTk Suu.
DR.. II. L. Helmbold, for many years
a well-known druggist at the most
magnificent store New York boosted
of at the time, in the Metropolitan
Hotel, on Broadway, was g. prisoner
yesterday at Jefferson Market Court.
For years he was g. figure in all the
large parades in this city, the magni6-
cence of his turnouts attracting much
attention. On st. Patrick Day, and
on other festival days, his eight-horse
team was always a notable feature.
After "Black Friday it was said that
his fortune had sErunk into nothing,
and he became demented. Since
that time his brother, pro-
prietor of the drug store under the
Continental Hotel at Philadelphia,
has been his guardian, and he has gen.
orally been quiet and unobtrusive.
One of his fits came over him on Mon
day and he came to New York and got
or one of his old-time sprees at the
Hoffman House.
He got on Fifth Avenue stage yes
terday afternoon and tried to dis
mount at Washington Park, but
slipped and fell in the gutter. Officer
McGonigal, of the Mercer Street STA
ton, took him to Jefferson Market,
where Justice Duffy committed him to
the care of the commissioners of
Charities and Corrections. He is Sc
years old, and his family reside at 446
West Fifty-seventh Street.

THE LOVE OF THE HILLS.


He who hath drawn from birth the mountain
air.
All the blue hills strange influence shaping
him.
Hat i loved them, lying mighty heart and
limb,
And felt their solemn stiffness as prayer;
who hath Tejoiced in them, and found them
fair,
Praised still their beauty were it bright or
Fashioned their meetings: they too loving
him
And answering him with understanding rare.
Such one-in the fiat land lying drear,
With no worlds ending, and an empty SKY, ,
Lonely ana vast, with but strange b1rds call,
Will bear his heart a-hungered many year,
Sickening to see his hills stand silently,
Flushed with the day or gray at evenfaIl.
Therefore do | rejoice-who loves you so,
NV hills-to think there will be hills in heaven;
The everlasting hills at dawn ana even,
Standing to gaze against the sunlight g ow;
Silver and gIay and domed with shining snow,
In rose-hecked purple and in wan gold layen.
Oh there shall be none sick or untorgiven
In the most pleasant wales that lie below
And oh, the warm wind blowing from the
heiAhls! 49,
Blowing like balm. 1 think that heaven will
be,
In some sort, reassuming of old things
Our hills, our woods, our song bird, our delights
And oar lost loves that sailed away ali me :
Far on Deaths dark, with wide unwayerlne
wings.

and wore O. small black nustache,
while two large gray eyes seemed to
take in all the admiring chances shot
at him by the crowd of well-dressed
ladies who passed by. He wore q pair

thrust the legs OF a pair of tight-ftting
gray pantaloons. A mauve-colored

monds in the front, and q blue silk tie
encircled his throat. On his head was

How a Cow Cleaned Out a Saloon.
From the Dallas News.


The mounted police whose duty it
is to impound stock found running at
large, roped in g. Grumpy -horned black
cow on Commercial Street yesterday.
The cow set her legs and was immov-
able. After several efforts to take
her to the pound, the officer took the
rope off her horns. Immediately she
made break for q colored saloon on
the south side of the street. There
was g. brass band in the saloon knock
ing the socks off of "Golden Slippers"
some fellows playing billiards, and
others doing nothing in particular.
AS the cow entered the music ceased,
and thelast note of the bass horn was
the diapason to which she pitched her
voice. By the Time the cow emerged
from the back door, there was not g.
man in the saloon. They went by
doors and windows, and billiard cues
and musical instruments were scat
tered. But all she seemed to want
was a passage, and when she came out
the back door she struck q bee line for
the creek and soon disappeared.

Apples for Europe.

From the New York Mail and Express
"What can / tell you ABOUT ship
ping apples to Europe? A great
DEAL" began an exporter to- day. Gin
the first place, America is sending over
100000 barrels of apples a year to
London, Liverpool and Glasgow
alone. The bulk of these go during
the winter months, at the rate OF
from 100000 to 10000 barrels week.
New York ships the most, Boston
comes next and Montreal third. Port
land, Me-, handles good many, and
Annapolis, Nd, forwards the South
ern fruit"
Chow are they packed ?"
GIN barrels made for the purpose.
Only sound fruit is used. The first
layer is placed in the bottom stems
downward, the others are put in until
there appears to be one layer too
many, and then the head is placed on
these and forced into the barrel with
a. screw press. the head is then nailed
in, and any amount OF handling will
not shake the apples"

Good Enough for Anybody.
From the Boston Advertise

From the Boston Advertiser.
There was q Westerner at Cologne,
Germany, months ago, who caused
considerable laughter. He was suffer
ing from linguistic difficulty in the at
tempt to explain to customs official
the necessity of carrying two bottles
of liquor. Owing to the inability of
either OF the men to comprehend the
other, the LOGS of one Or both of the
precious bottles was imminent, when
q German-speaking Englishman, who
had been entertained by the con-
troversy, stepped up and offered as
sistance to the American. 81 will very
Cheerfully help you out" said he.
"You're an Englishman, / reckon"
suggested the Westerner
81 am, but speak German and will
be pleased to interpret for you;" and
then the Englishman proceeded to tell
the officer that it was customary in
America to carry about two or three
BOTTLES in ones satchel.
'Now see here" interrupted the
Western man, "this German is all well
SO far as it goes, but my language is
good enough for me, and what's
good enough for me if good
enough for anybody. IT. only
question of time when the whole
world will be speakin' the American
language, and the sooner these people
over here understand that the better.
Now Pm in for helpin' 'em to learn,
and if you'll just let me alone few
minutes I'll keep at this cheese-eater
till he catches on to what I'm drivin'
at.
The Englishman drew back, and the
Westerner renewed his earnest explain
ing the till German closed his saJchel,
and chalked it, bottles and all, with
the dubious air Of a person who had
agreed to something he could never
hone to understand.

Making the Voice Louder.
From the New York Sun

Musicians are considerably amused
by an invention which has in view the
STRENGTHENING and improvement of the
human voice. 1t rs purely amechani-
cal continuance and is called the ''reso.
nator." 1t was invented by Mr..
Bach, music teacher in Edinburgh,
Scotland. 1t is contrivance which
is held in the mouth, of course, during
singing, and it is said that the tones
of the voice passing through it are
strengthened and made doubly reso-
nant by it's use, and that there is moth
ing in the quality OF tone thus pro-
duced to disclose the fact that a
machine has been used.

Curious Heart Trouble.

husband to her bedside and said:
''My heart is going so that I can hear
it tick, tick, just like q watch. If
turn my ear on the pillow l can hear
the tick distinctly. 1t never bothered
me that way before" Then the hus-

under the pillow, and when he brought
it forth and showed it to his wife she
was greatly relieved.

A New One on Ben Eutler.

II was talking with Congressman Calliins
in indianapolis, recently said Mr.. VIII V.
Rocker, III the lobby OF the Paxton. land he
gave me what thought was a new one about
Ben Butler. An Ohio congressman, whom
[ will not name, represented one OF the in
terror districts Of his state at tie time Ben
Butler was having no end Of trouble with
sam Cox and q good many other people in
the house, and doing them all up more or less
il his own peculiar way. The Ohio man had
been loaded for benjamin for some time, and
at last one day he got his chance.
His speech was simply torrent of vulgar
abuse, and would have attracted unmitgated
disgust had it not been for his peculiar gest-
ures, which tempered the disgust with mirth.
he had fashion Of raising his arms just as
high above bis head as possible and then
wringing his hands as though he were making
a delirious attempt to wiring them off Well,
old Ben sat through the speech with his one
good eye half shut, not moving muscle.
When the Ohio man had finished and taken
his seat Ben arose-calm, dignified and i'm
pressive-and stood in the aisle. For half
minute he said nothing Then be began:
Mr.. Speaker Another pause, long and
ponderous. Everybody waited, with hushed
breath, for him to continue. Raising his
arms, Ben produced exactly the awful gest-
ure Of the Ohio congressman. Then he per.
mitted bis arms TO fall again, and for another
half minute stood Gtill and silent. That is
all. Mr.. Speaker said the shrewd and sar-
castle son of MASSACHUSETTS. i just wanted
TO answer the gentleman from Ohio. Judg-
ing from tho wild laughter and applause
which followed, old Ben's speech was at once
the shortest aud the best ever delivered in the
